October is National Cyber Security Month. National Cyber Security Awareness Month is a nationwide campaign designed to increase understanding of Internet security and help the public avoid malicious threats on the Internet.

Information Systems wants you to be informed about the ways that you can protect yourself and your data. Throughout the month of October, IS will be hosting several events to discuss cyber security and offer assistance for setting up Google 2-Step Verification. Check your mailbox, bookmark is.wfu.edu and follow IS on Twitter @WFUIS for more information. Plan to attend one or more of these events and register to win several awesome prizes donated by Dell and Cisco, including a Chromebook and other fun technology.

Information Systems strongly suggests that you do not upgrade your Wake Forest allocated computer to macOS High Sierra at this time.

Information Systems staff will be testing this new operating system to determine if it meets our compatibility and performance requirements. We will communicate additional macOS High Sierra upgrade information as it becomes available. We would like for anyone currently using AFP sharing protocol to be aware that Apple is phasing this out in favor of the SMB sharing protocol. If you are sharing files using AFP and wish to upgrade to High Sierra, you will need to convert those shares to the SMB protocol.

If your computer is upgraded to macOS High Sierra and exhibits performance issues which inhibit its use, please bring it to the Service Desk for a reload of the original operating system as shipped from Apple.
